Welcome to Stretchlab Ridgefield

My name is Madeline and I am a professional dancer with a BFA in commercial dance. I recently moved to CT from NYC and began my training with StretchLab shortly after. I’ve found a passion for stretching properly and have loved getting to teach others the same thing! I also teach ballet to middle/highschool students and in my free time I like to spend it hiking and being outside with my dog and fiancé. I look forward to stretching with you all!

Hi, I am Anthony. I am a graduate of Pace University where I studied Biology/Psychology. At Pace, alongside my academic journey, I was a 3-year captain of the baseball team. My athletic career has taught me how important performance and recovery are to attain peak performance. After graduating college, I worked in physical therapy as an aide which solidified my passion for helping people recover and reach their goals. The blend of my academic and athletic background helps me connect with people when it comes to achieving their true potential. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your wellness goals!

Hello, my name is Colby, I have moved here to Connecticut from Seattle in search of change and new experiences. I have a Bachelors in Kinesiology with a year’s worth of experience as a Physical Therapy Aide. I plan to attend Physical Therapy school in the near future and continue my education. Through my studies at school and through work, I have found my place in helping others reach their goals in physical health.

Outside of work, I love to rock climb, hike, and be as active as I can to stay healthy. I hope to see you soon for a stretch and help you achieve your goals!

Hey, what’s going on guys? My name is Dominique Bragg and I am an alumnus of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where I received a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science (Kinesiology). However, I am currently a dual degree student at the University of Bridgeport seeking a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and Masters in Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine. My Stretchlab journey is just now beginning and I am excited to not only learn more about the vastness of the human body and put my teachings into practice, but to be intentional about fostering relationships with my clients. My goal as your future flexologist includes education but more importantly, you walking out of every session feeling better than when you walked in. We will craft a program completely unique to you to promote an overall increase in well-being. How does that sound?

Hello! My name is Michael DiPane! I just finished my undergraduate program with a bachelor's degree in exercise science. I got interested in this field of work from helping my grandma with rehabilitation from strokes/dementia before she passed away. I have played all sports throughout my life but I played collegiate level basketball and am heavily invested in health, fitness, and stretching. I also have plans of returning to school to receive my doctorate in physical therapy in the future. I am compassionate about helping people maintain or exceed physical fitness. I am so happy to work for StretchLab because I see the results of stretching and working with clients, and this feels incredible! When outside of work I enjoy playing basketball, pickleball, and hiking. I also love spending time with my family, nephews, and dogs! I look forward to seeing you in our studio soon!
